Terrible unit and terrible service

Basically stopped working after just over 1.5 yrs where files on usb would not open after placing usb into unit. The remote stopped working after foing this as well. I contacted Phillips and got the runaround having to post the thing to Victoria from...

Broken remote

I have had the same problem but until now, had just left the device in the cupboard and replaced it with another brand. I have just today tried to attach a 'One for all' universal controller but I cannot access the correct code and that is not working...

Subtitles

Unable to access Subtitles on any of my movies on my external hard drive through my Philips HMP4000 Media Player during play. It comes up as "No subtitle", so does't even give me the option to "Select a subtitle language". I've referred to "Q&A" and...

Brilliant Low Cost Media Player

I have 2 of these and have had no problems whatsoever with them. They play all the formats that I throw at them including AVI, and the picture and sound quality is superior to anything that I have seen on other media players. It also powers, and plays...

Disappointing

dle of a video or a music clip it's a real pain in the .... ! The fact that both of my players do exactly the same things makes me think it's more of an inherent problem than faulty equipment. The Philips HMP4000/79 seems to play just about any file I...

Poor avi support

Purchased from my local dick smith as a media player for the kids room. I have encoded a lot of the DVD's I have purchased over the years to prevent the original from getting damaged. AVI's I encoded using dr divx and the retail version of the Divx...
